If you've read Karin's post on what it takes to be a professional portrait artist, you know that you are now several hours closer than you were before. She said that you need to put in a thousand hours. If you keep setting your easel aside for years on end (as I do), you may have to double that.
I applaud your resolve. I also want to repeat my previous comment about painting. I strongly believe that all would-be artists should avoid color in general, and make a year-long commitment (an arbitrary time frame, I admit) to drawing. Master the basics, then move into color. I'm proud to say that I'm taking my own advice (which I rarely do), and I am drawing every chance I get. I think I'll ask for an easel for Christmas, and resolve not to paint at all until after that date.
